IAI Auto mag III vs AMT III

Hello, new member here. I just picked up another 30 carbine by IAI.  I’m comparing it to my AMT III and have noticed some minor differences, especially the ejector.  Should I be concerned?  I hand cycled some dummy rounds through the IAI and it does kick the rounds out.  Also the barrel bushing on the AMT will not turn far enough to remove it. Last thing, some of the mag followers are shaped differently, the ones with the follower that has a lower back end seem to cause problems with the slide picking up the next round when cycling.   Any suggestions would be appreciated very much.  Thank you all. 

Sometimes the pics get downloaded to your files and you don't notice. They don't show up on you post. You can check by hitting the photo icon like you are getting ready to add a pic to your post. The box on the left will show any pics that got downloaded. Those are easy to add to your post.

If I click on any of them and then hit upload, I get an error. “Error uploading image!! Please use the browse.. button to select image to upload.  My files are in the 40 to 43 KB size.   I’ve also tried the icon just to the left of the green tree, when trying to upload, it just stops, no activity. So I exit.   I’ve reviewed the picture upload instructions, but they are old instructions. Any help would be appreciated.

The ejector in the IAI is shorter than the AMT, but it appears to work. I wasn’t sure if it was broken.  The barrel bushing on the IAI clears the guide rod when bushing is rotated counter clockwise, but it doesn’t clear on the AMT, the funny thing is, I’ve had the AMT for about 10 years and I remember disassembling it, but how?? I don’t remember. I’m afraid to force it.  I have a 3-1/2” AMT II where the bushing had to be forced to clear the end of the guide rod, I carefully removed some metal on the guide rod and now the take down is a breeze. 

I have 2 IAI AMIII’s, one with a long ejector like you see most of the time, and one with a shorter ejector en both work fine. Maybe one was replaced because the previous one was broken or so, but if it works it works… I’ll try to make some pictures tomorrow and post them.
